A seagull calls as it flies overhead. You’re eating a big bowl of sunscreen with a spoon. This can only mean one thing: It’s time for the [b]Space Beach Party[/b] seasonal event in Deep Rock Galactic, which is a game about surfing. The Beach Party kicks off on [b]Thursday, August 1st[/b] at [b]13:00 CEST[/b] and makes waves until August 15th. Let’s take a quick peek at what’s coming! [hr][/hr] [h3]Fun seasonal mandatory work assignments[/h3] It ain’t summer vacation without a bit of hard work! Only joking, folks – the DRG company handbook doesn’t say anything about vacation. Anyway, there’s a new assignment for you: the [b]Hoxxes Summer Cruise[/b]. Complete it, and we’ll reward you with our wettest hat yet: [b]The Tentacle Topper[/b].

You can still earn all the other cosmetic rewards from previous Beach Party events. Just complete the [b]Last Year's Summer Fashion[/b] assignment, and you’ll earn all the old ones in one fell swoop. Might have to shake the sand out of ‘em, though.

These pool toys are critical for mining operations, so we need them back. Deposit one during a mission, and your whole team will earn a [b]Double Performance Pass Point Bonus[/b]. Totally tubular! [h3]Summertime radness aboard the Space Rig[/h3] Although Management didn’t approve our budget request for a wave pool, we’ve still got the Space Rig looking beachy. You’ll see it and say, [i]“Lu-wow!”[/i] Get it? Like luau. Moving right along, the Rig’s been decorated with holiday lights, (slappable!) inflatable palm trees, beach-tastic audio ambiance, big buckets of water balloons, and several tons of coarse, rough, irritating sand. Management requests that all employees handle the water balloons responsibly, as the insurance policy on the Space Rig doesn't cover water damage. [hr][/hr] The 2024 Space Beach Party kicks off in just two days, on [b]August 1st[/b] at [b]13:00 CEST[/b]. It might come to consoles just a teeny bit later. Make sure to ask your teammates for help putting sunscreen on your back! [i]With Love, -The Ghost Ship Beach Bums[/i]
